Good Approach, Not a Book for A Single Read

The concept is very interesting and promising. But I found it a bit hard to follow from audio book format because it is hard to visualize the explanations without seeing physically. Also the book tells a method. So critical points should be bookmarked and listened repeatedly.

mostly about facilitation

This book is mostly about facilitation. The author talks some about the polocracy constitution but that seems to basically define how meetings will be facilitated. that said, there are a number of interesting points about alternative methods to facilitate and how to keep things running smoothly. there are specific facilitation methods for how to change your organization but the book seems to focus mostly on how to run the meeting.

It is worth reading but I was hoping for something a little more comprehensive.

Socialism for Corporations

Something about this book bothered from me from the start... the feeling only got worse as I continued to listen. The principles taught in here will not work for most businesses. I do not recommend reading this book unless suggested by a collegue. I feel less intellegent for sufferring through it.

Consensus killer

Missing the visualization as usual with audio books. But inspired to kill consensus in organizations. Especially useless committees in sports clubs.

Succinct, clearly outlined, comprehensive guide

Succinct, clearly outlined, comprehensive guide to adopting Holacracy. 4-hour listen seems to flow in line with the efficient principles of this system. I am feeling energized to try Holacracy in founding our intentional community!

Great idea

this is a great topic to cover so please keep coverage on this subject ⭐ more

Thorough run through holacracy rules and behaviors

Good explanation on what holacracy is, how it works and how to introduce it into an organisation.

Informative boredom

I so looked forward to an interesting read. I enjoyed the concept and am intrigued by the possibilities. My displeasure came not from the new-wave perspective on self-organization, that was enlightening, but from the verbose delivery of the author. I agree with other reviewers in this forum: less would certainly be more as to the too-many words used. That alone made this book difficult to get through. That aside, the construct presented could certainly work if given the chance. Thanks to the author for sharing this ground breaking system.

Too much too fast for this old codger.

I will have to listen a few more times and then seek out more details for application.
